I'll remember reading "Encounter with the Sea" years ago in an old anthology. I'm glad that Pano Avramopoulos will be talking about it tonight at 20:00 - I'll try to listen. Thanks for the reminder.

I read “Συνάντηση με τη θάλασσα” years ago and still remember the line about the sea washing the pain from the rocks. Nice to see Panagiotis Avramopoulos giving him a proper slot tonight – I’ll try to catch the 8pm show too. Thanks for the heads-up.

I remember that exact line too — it always stuck with me because it felt so grounded, like the sea just gets on with its work. Glad you’re tuning in tonight; Panagiotis usually picks out a couple of lesser-known poems that hit different. Have you read “Το αγρίμι” since then?

I liked how you put it about the sea just getting on with its work — that line always felt practical to me too. I haven’t picked up “Το αγρίμι” in years, but your mention makes me want to dig it out again before tonight’s show. Does Panagiotis usually read from the older collections or mix in later stuff?
